Physical Therapy
Our physical therapy programs address injuries, chronic pain, and post-surgical recovery through customized treatment plans. Using manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, and advanced modalities, we restore mobility and reduce discomfort. Targeted interventions like joint mobilization and postural training improve function for patients of all activity levels.
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic treatments focus on musculoskeletal and nervous system conditions through hands-on spinal adjustments and soft tissue therapy. This approach alleviates back pain, neck pain, and headaches while enhancing overall wellness through non-invasive, drug-free methods.
Sports Medicine
Sports medicine services optimize athletic performance and treat sports-related injuries using techniques like Graston Technique and functional movement screens. Pre- and post-surgical rehabilitation ensures athletes regain strength and prevent future injuries through sport-specific training programs.
Laser Therapy
Laser therapy delivers focused light energy to reduce inflammation and accelerate healing for conditions like arthritis, tendonitis, and nerve pain. This non-thermal, FDA-cleared treatment promotes cellular repair without invasive procedures or medication side effects.
Balance Disorders Treatment
Specialized balance rehabilitation addresses dizziness, vertigo, and fall risks through vestibular assessments and customized exercises. Techniques improve coordination, stability, and confidence for patients with neurological or inner ear conditions.

Report
I had a case of frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) and the physical therapists were great at tailoring my treatment and exercises to my condition. I worked with them for months seeing dramatic improvement in motion and strength. They were very responsive and great listeners. Would strongly recommend!

Report
I had a great experience with Aegis Physical Therapy for my shoulder injury. My Therapist, Maurice, was very organized with my treatment plan; first stretching, then strengthening. He listened to my feedback at every appointment and tailored a plan of exercises to directly address the issues while still maintaining the overall treatment plan. I highly recommend Aegis Physical Therapy (and specifically Maurice) if you have a shoulder injury.

My first visit I limped in and started working with Maurice. The one-on-one care that he gave helped me tremendously, and I am now back to work. I mainly worked with him, but the few times I worked with other members of the staff, they were also very helpful. I never saw a staff member working with more than one patient so you'll know that you'll be getting the staff member's full attention. In between sessions, Maurice would email me individualized exercises to do at home to help with my recovery. If you have an injury of any kind, do yourself a favor, look no further and book an appointment here.

Aegis Physical Therapy is absolutely fantastic. Working with Maurice, he took the time to hear every detail about my current problem and he immediately identified some solutions to help me get better. Between the in person PT sessions and the guided exercises provided on their app, it was very easy for me to keep up with my exercises and stay on track to recover. Beyond the PT itself, Maurice is very friendly and he makes conversations easy, so I was also just having fun and happy to be there. Overall, I strongly recommend going there if you're in need of physical therapy!

Been coming to Aegis for a back injury - Aegis is awesome! I've worked with Ginger and Maurice - they are both super knowledgable and have helped my pain - it's been a slow progress for me but they're both so patient and caring. They really think through what exercises benefit me individually rather than a "cookie cutter" plan. Highly recommend this as the best physical therapy in western MA!
